I v SCARF AND HEADWEAR Filed Dec. 29, 1937 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented July 25, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SCARF AND nsanwma Leonora Wood, Los Angeles, Calif., assignor of one-tenth to Kimpton Ellis, Los Angeles,

Calif.

Application December 29, 1937. Serial No. 182,223

1 Claim. (01. 2-198) 10 kinds of weather; and third, to avoid the necessity for any other head covering when" flying,

automobiling, attending sporting events, parties or the like. When not needed for the head, it

may be draped from the shoulders. Its flexibility 15 in materials is only limited by the demand. It may be made in colors becoming to all styles of beauty. From combinations of wool and rayon to velvets. chiifons, tinsel and laces, its possibilities are staggering.

I achieve these objects by the ways and means illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective of the left side of my invention when being used; Fig. 2 is a similar view a of its right side; and Fig. a similar view of its rear. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the scarf as it is first placed-on the head; and Fig. 4 is a similar view after one end has been twisted preparatory to its being coiled round the head. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one side of the scarf when made up suitable for wearing; while Fig. 'I.

is a similar view of its other side. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the button and a sectional view of the folded material at the pointof fasten- '5 ing; Fig. 9 is a sectional view where material is doubled; Fig. 11 is a sectional view of the large loop with elastic material; and Fig. '10 is a plan view of the doubled scarf material after it has been cut and slit, and showing the looped end to 40 be faced with materials of one or two different colors.

Fig. is a perspective view of the scarf after it has been out outof material 1% yards long and'one-half yard wide with the outside edges v ,5 turned inward to meet in the center of the cloth. At a point about 12 inches from either end, the cloth is then slit in the middle. The top is double as in Fig. 9 and is elastic as shown in Fig. 11, also II and II. The right hand member 50 of Fig. 10 from the beginning of the slit downward is designed to be faced with a plurality of harmonious colors while at the bottom of that same member there is a loop thru which the other member may be threaded to fasten about the 5 neck. Another form is shown in Figs. 6 and 7 in which one of the members is gathered at the bottom and provided with a loop adapted to fasten at the neck 'upon the button I half way down the other member. Fig. 8 shows this butgathered by the button, the gathering being shown in Figs. 6 and 'l by a central disk bounded by a solid line on one side and a broken line on the other.

At the top, right hand corner of Fig. 6 is shown a button and on the opposite corner a buttonhole for fastening the top of the scarf. Of course, snap-hooks or any other desired form of fastening may be used. When fastened, this ton also the three thicknesses of. cloth which are part of the scarf is like the open end of a stocking and goes over the head as shown in Fig. 3. The ends of the scarf are then crossed as in Fig. 4 while the end having the loop is" twisted as shown and then twinedaround the head as-in Fig; 5 whereupon the loop on the twined member is ready to engage the button on the other member and the scarf is now -flrmly fastened in ,place as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The other form of fastening is to have a loop at one end of the scarf, large enough in which to insert the other end of the scarf; then by pulling the threaded end thru the loop, the scarf is fastened in place. The preferable material for the scarf is what is known to the trade asa knit jersey which is naturally elastic and more gracefully conforms to the novel adjustments-on :the head and neck that are some of the purposes of this invention.

The head-piece of the scarf is formed by the unslit portion and instead of being buttoned it may be sewed together for about three inches from the top, thus forming :a stocking-leg opening in which to put thetop of the head.

I am aware that. others have used scarfs having crowned and form-shapedlhead-pieces as well as both scarf ends for tying or otherwise blending the .scarf ends together in overlapping decorative ways; but I believe that I am the first to use an open head-piece and also the first to use one dependent end for esthetic effects while the other was used for different purposes. By this novel means, different eifects are produced in strikingly different styles from the performances of former by being crossed in the back of the neck and;

pulled taut, one of said dependent members having a loop or equivalent fastening at its end and being of a nature to produce a rope of cloth when twisted, said rope of cloth being adapted for twining round the head whereby it is in position for fastening, and the other of said dependent members provided with a fastening near its center adapted to engage the other half of the fastening on said other member.
